Seaside is an unincorporated master-planned community on the Florida Panhandle in Walton County, between Panama City Beach and Destin. One of the first communities in America designed on the principles of New Urbanism, the town has become the topic of slide lectures in architectural schools and in housing-industry magazines, and is visited by design professionals from all over the United States.[2]

The town was used as the main filming location of the 1998 film The Truman Show.[7]

Seaside is one of three planned communities on Florida's Gulf coast designed by Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk. The other two are Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach. The three are examples of a style of urban planning known as New Urbanism. As Seaside is privately owned, no other municipal governments had planning jurisdiction over Seaside, and therefore the developers were able to write their own zoning codes.[8]

    New Urbanism makes me want to kill myself when i'm near it, i went to one in a college course and told my bourgeois (using it correctly) professor that it gave me the creeps

        well i mean i think all the nazism in the op is a great read, but to put it simply, the vibes are just fucked. it has the scale of urban areas but it feels like it's in an uncanny valley where all the buildings are just a bit too similar, where you can feel that you're supposed to imagine this is a mixed community but it is clearly just a spectacle for a certain kind of bourgeois and petit bourgeois. it's like a simulacrum of an urban area.
